Just curious,
do I need to file a bug report cause the dependency of fglrx drive and xserver?
No, see <http://bugs.debian.org/639875>.
Thanks.
Last comment on that bug:

Yes.
How do people survive without fglrx driver.
As already hinted at, I think there are two ways:
1) Use the free driver.
??
2) Be more careful with upgrades.
Yeah, before I was so careless during upgrading, barely looked at which packages exactly are upgrading.
As I remember, problems with fglrx happen quite often when there are new upgrades to other packages. Sometimes the new version is not supported by fglrx, at other times it is because debian does not wait to ensure that fglrx is never broken.
Thanks for any suggestions.
For now: I do not know.
For the future: Do one of the aove. If the free driver does not work for your needs, note what every upgrade will do, before you allow it to do so. I use aptitude for upgrades, so I get a list of the changes, and get to interactively decide what to do when there is a conflict.
Recent I tried hard to downgrade xserver and xorg, I can't say it's frustrating, but indeed it's very.

Johan
